Experience
Industrial machine learning, edge vision and IoT since 2022, most recently on-prem GenAI at QED Analyticals.
Jul 2026 – now
Current role

Senior AI Engineer
QED Analyticals, Delhi, India · Hybrid
AI Infrastructure, GenAI Platforms, Production Recovery
- Set up and clustered two NVIDIA DGX Spark nodes to host and serve models on-prem, including air-gapped workloads.
- Built a GenAI platform end to end on FastAPI, React 19, Neo4j and ChromaDB: hybrid GraphRAG retrieval, answers streamed over SSE, and multimodal OCR pipelines.
- Brought a critical offline platform on RHEL and Docker Swarm back to life: upgraded 15+ microservices, then ran a PostgreSQL disaster recovery, salvaging data from a replica, rebuilding the corrupted primary and finishing the migration.
Projects from this role: Air-Gapped Document Assistant, Foundry Vision and Traceability, Real-Time Mosquito Tracking, Gift Registry and Marketplace
Nov 2024 – Jul 2026

- Rewrote a genetic algorithm for coal-blend optimization to score the whole population in one vectorized pass, cutting a run from 5 hours to under 2 minutes (150x).
- Built a thermal-video pipeline that measures hot sinter height at the discharge end: an industrial digital twin operators use to tune fuel rates in real time.
- Built and deployed multi-regression models predicting Internal Return Fines (IRF) and Blast Furnace Return Fines (BFRF) from live process data on a PI Server.
- Deployed a naval ship identification system on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin: YOLO finds the ship and OCR reads its hull number, at 92% accuracy in the field.
Projects from this role: Coal-Blend Optimizer, Real-Time Mosquito Tracking
Mar 2024 – Dec 2024

System Software Engineer
Krishworks Technology & Research Labs, Bengaluru, India
IoT Infrastructure, Edge AI, Cloud OTA
- Designed the AWS IoT backend, on IoT Core, Lambda, RDS and S3, that onboards devices and ships them over-the-air firmware updates.
- Built a Raspberry Pi telematics unit that reads a vehicle's OBD-II port and GPS and reports live over 4G.
- Built a hotspot/coldspot detection system using a U-Net segmentation model with a React and Tailwind CSS front end.
- Wrote a Samsung SmartThings Edge driver with a custom webhook integration.
Projects from this role: AWS IoT Telematics & Vehicle Diagnostics, Thermal Hotspot/Coldspot Detection
May 2023 – Aug 2023

- Led a team of three building an emergency dispatch simulator, with LSTM networks forecasting where calls would come from.
- Split the county into each station's nearest-coverage zone with dynamic Voronoi partitioning, to route ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
- Gathered requirements from the county's emergency staff, so the simulation matched how dispatch actually runs.
Projects from this role: Emergency Dispatch Simulator
Jun 2022 – Dec 2022

System Software Engineer — Trainee
Krishworks Technology & Research Labs, Bengaluru, India
Mobile Systems, Fullstack CRM, BLE
- Cut LMS app load times from 6 seconds to milliseconds by parallelizing data fetching.
- Built a full-stack property-management CRM with React, Flutter, Firebase, Django and Twilio.
- Wrote a custom iOS BLE library that doubled command throughput in a React Native robot controller app.
- Led the AWS Amplify integration for an educational app that reached 5,000+ downloads on the Play Store.
Oct 2022 – Nov 2022

- Added automated linting to CI, fixed the 3,000+ problems it flagged, and made it a gate for new code.
- Fixed Android 12 native build failures in the app's real-time communication libraries.
- Built a custom video player UI and kept playback state saved locally while streaming.
- Cut 20 MB from the release build by removing dead code and unused dependencies.
